From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are there any AppImage stores or gui frontends to search and manage app images? (lemmy.ml)

I've been searching and searching and haven't found much at all. I'm wondering if there's an AppImage desktop store or manager or whatever you wanna call it? Specifically for Fedora, but I dont think that matters with app images. I downloaded the NX Linux app image store, so I'll tinker with that for a bit. Please let me know if there are options out there

I love that there is a flatpak to manage appimages. I didn't see it on their github, but surely they offer an appimage right? Such that it could bootstrap/update itself? Otherwise thats pretty ironic.

P.s. I'm cool with both flatpak and appimages, only poking fun.

Does Gear Lever download appimages as well?

Or is it just a manager for manually downloaded appimages?

Only manage local installations, no automatic updates

Perfect, thanks
